Throughout the year we have about 900 Bottlenose Dolphins resident along the KwaZulu Natal coast. With the onset of the winter months and the annual sardine run, we have about 3000 bottlenose dolphins extending their migratory range, this makes for arguably the most spectacular dolphin viewing in the world, with some pods exceeding 1000 animals at one given time passing close in shore. You may also be fortunate enough to view the common dolphins that come inshore to feed on the sardines. Generally these dolphins prefer the deeper waters and their numbers maybe in excess of 15000 - 30000.

The sighting of whales is becoming more and more frequent with the Humpback whale population having increased to in excess of 2500 and growing at a rate of 10% per annum making them one of the fastest growing marine populations in the world. The Humpback and Southern Right whales are commonly seen bypassing us, heading to southern Mozambique to mate.

Whatever way you choose to explore Durban, make sure it includes time on the water for an overall experience.
